The Galileo A-6816Z 6.8mm to 16mm Zoom Eyepiece Features and Benefits:

I was actually impressed how this eyepiece performed when I received it. I bought it just to do a little bit of nature viewing, but gave it a shot at astronomy. I have a 102mm Mak-Cass scope and placed it in the holder. What I saw actually caught me a little off guard. I pointed my scope at the Orion Nebula and saw what I intended to see. I zoomed in on the Trapizium and was impressed to be able to discern the four stars easily. No real vigenetting either at high powers. Thumbs up.
